2. This guy should be a comedy writer!
A lot of folks were asking me if I wear women’s dresses a lot. I can honestly say that this is the first time I have ever donned female attire. It’s also the first time I’ve been inside something feminine that didn’t nag me to take out the garbage.

That's gold!

6. That was hysterical!!!
Edited on Tue Apr-27-04 01:06 PM by prolesunited
I gotta say it did make me feel very pretty.  So if it can make me feel pretty, it can make you feel pretty, especially on the most important day of your life, right?  Anyway, I was told to say it has a train and a veil and all kinds of shiny beady things.  I think it's funny that one picture makes it look like the chest plate off an Imperial Storm Trooper.  Did I mention that all I want is a ball game and beer?  Cheap at twice the price.  Ladies, you won’t regret this.  You may regret the dude you marry but not the dress.

Perhaps you should get it. After all, he said it made him feel pretty. I bet it would look good on you, although I think you are smaller than a 12. You might have to have it taken in a bit. :-)

11. It's hysterically funny!
What a hoot! I almost wish I was getting married so I could bid on the dress.

In my previous life, when I got divorced, I left my wedding ensemble at the ex's house (our married house - I foolishly GAVE it to him). Anyway, the apartment I moved to was much too small to keep my wedding dress, so I asked him to hang on to it for a while. About a year later I inadvertantly found out that he gave it to Goodwill not long after I moved out!

This pissed me off beyond belief and I never really understood why. I couldn't figure out why keeping the symbol of our failed marriage was so important to me, but damn, I was pissed about that for a long, long time!

Thankfully I am over that now. :toast:

9. He's up to 735,000 hits now
It must be making the internet rounds, because this is the second time I've seen it.

It's really the funniest ebay listing ever. And the guy lives here in Seattle. I don't recognize his tattoos, though.

No wonder he's getting proposals on ebay. Who can resist a good laugh?

17. I posted one of them! It's locked now
I saw the guy on Seattle tv. He was interviewed wearing the dress, posing in it. Very silly.

20. I can't help but think there are nefarious forces at work
I wouldn't be surprised to see some of those bids withdrawn. I can't believe they're serious.

Remember what happened with Wes Clark's argyle sweater?

21. Good point.
Anyone here catch the Ebay auction for GHOST IN A JAR?

That was also comedy gold, as were the resulting copycat auctions.

29. Current bid: $99,000,100.00
Now I feel sorry for the seller. These bids will probably cock up his auction.
